indigenous struggles Environmental Justice and community capabilities
Global Environmental Politics, 2010Co-Authors: David Schlosberg, David CarruthersAbstract:Environmental Justice is often defined in terms of the distribution (or maldistribution) of Environmental goods and bads. Activists and scholars have also focused on issues of cultural recognition and political participation. This article posits a capabilities-based conception of Environmental Justice. We argue that Environmental challenges raised by indigenous communities demonstrate a broad, complex conception of Environmental Justice focused on a range of capabilities and basic functionings, at both the individual and community levels. We begin with a theoretical justification for a capabilities-based approach to understanding Environmental Justice. We then offer two in-depth case studies from the US and Chile, to illustrate our argument that indigenous Environmental Justice struggles clearly articulate themes of community capabilities and functioning, highlighting the importance of social and cultural reproduction.

reconceiving Environmental Justice global movements and political theories
Environmental Politics, 2004Co-Authors: David SchlosbergAbstract:While calls for ‘Environmental Justice’ have grown recently, very little attention has been paid to exactly what the ‘Justice’ of Environmental Justice refers to, particularly in the realm of social movement demands. Most understandings of Environmental Justice refer to the issue of equity, or the distribution of Environmental ills and benefits. But defining Environmental Justice as equity is incomplete, as activists, communities, and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) call for much more than just distribution. This essay examines how definitions beyond the distributive in these movements can help us develop conceptions of global Environmental Justice. The argument is that the Justice demanded by global Environmental Justice is really threefold: equity in the distribution of Environmental risk, recognition of the diversity of the participants and experiences in affected communities, and participation in the political processes which create and manage Environmental policy. The existence of three differe...

Environmental Justice and Social Work
2020Co-Authors: Dominoe JarvisAbstract:Concern for Environmental Justice has increased in recent decades. Although the Environmental Justice field is closely linked to social Justice, the social work profession has yet to gain a substantive involvement in Environmental Justice efforts. This article is a call to action for the social work profession and explains why the profession is ideally suited to address issues of Environmental Justice. It examines how issues of Environmental inJustice, such as the location of industrial waste facilities in predominantly minority communities, often affect those people who are most afflicted by other forms of inJustice. A review of recent literature explains how the social work profession can shift its framework and make important connections to Environmental Justice. This article also discusses three recommendations for the social work profession to become involved in Environmental Justice.

Spaces of Environmental Justice - Beyond Distribution and Proximity: Exploring the Multiple Spatialities of Environmental Justice
Antipode, 2009Co-Authors: Gordon WalkerAbstract:Over the last decade the scope of the socio-Environmental concerns included within an Environmental Justice framing has broadened and theoretical understandings of what defines and constitutes Environmental inJustice have diversified. This paper argues that this substantive and theoretical pluralism has implications for geographical inquiry and analysis, meaning that multiple forms of spatiality are entering our understanding of what it is that substantiates claims of Environmental inJustice in different contexts. In this light the simple geographies and spatial forms evident in much "first-generation" Environmental Justice research are proving insufficient. Instead a richer, multidimensional understanding of the different ways in which Environmental Justice and space are co-constituted is needed. This argument is developed by analysing a diversity of examples of socio-Environmental concerns within a framework of three different notions of Justice-as distribution, recognition and procedure. Implications for the strategies of Environmental Justice activism for the globalisation of the Environmental Justice frame and for future geographical research are considered.

Redirection for Environmental Justice
Federal Facilities Environmental Journal, 2002Co-Authors: Gerald H. YamadaAbstract:President Clinton issued an Environmental Justice executive order that made each federal agency responsible to promote Environmental Justice as part of its mission. Generally, this executive order was not substantively implemented. For example, implementation of the executive order by the Clinton administration's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was frustrated by a lack of clear direction and federal court decisions that limited the EPA's approach of using a civil rights statute to challenge state Environmental decisions.The Bush administration's EPA reconfirmed that Environmental Justice is a high agency priority. However, the EPA could be signaling a different approach. This article examines the reasons why implementation of Environmental Justice stalled at the end of the Clinton administration and the forecast for a significant shift in the EPA's approach. This article discusses how implementation of Environmental Justice fared at the end of the Clinton administration and during the first year and a half of the Bush administration.1 The Clinton administration left office with expectations unfulfilled. The Bush administration, through Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Christine Todd Whitman, has reconfirmed that Environmental Justice remains a priority. Administrator Whitman, however, appears to be moving toward a NEPA-like approach and away from relying on civil rights laws as the primary tool to assess the effects of state Environmental decisions on minority and low-income communities. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Environmental Justice implementation stalled
Federal Facilities Environmental Journal, 1999Co-Authors: Gerald H. YamadaAbstract:This article analyzes Environmental Justice approaches relying on the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and risk assessments. The article's author, Gerald H. Yamada, was the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) principal deputy general counsel for 13 years and was acting EPA general counsel for the first ten months of the Clinton administration. He concludes in his article that Environmental Justice implementation by EPA is stalled. His article provides an insightful perspective in support of his conclusion and suggests a way for EPA to rethink its approach to Environmental Justice.
